MARQUETTE, MI-- The City of Marquette is celebrating the restoration of the old Holy Family Orphanage with a ribbon cutting for the new Grandview Marquette apartments.
Friday’s event starts at 1 p.m. Free public tours will begin at 12:30 p.m. Officials say parking will be limited, so free rides on shuttle buses from Mattson Lower Harbor Park will be available every 20 minutes until 4 p.m.
Home Renewal Systems led the repurposing of the historic property in partnership with Community Action Alger Marquette. Grandview contains 56 one- to three-bedroom apartments. They’ll be offered to households earning up to $36,000 dollars a year, depending on family size. Fourteen of the apartments are set aside for those needing some level of support for successful occupancy.
